Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are typically refueled at a wide range of temperatures (-40℃ to 85℃) in the hydrogen refueling station in accordance with the worldwide accepted standard. Currently, there is no traceable method by which to verify and calibrate the hydrogen flowmeters to be used at hydrogen refueling stations except for a water calibration process as a conventional method. KRISS hydrogen field test standard based on the gravimetric principle was developed to verify the measurement accuracy of the mass flowmeter to be used at hydrogen refueling stations for the first time in Korea.

비정질 탄소막 제조에 있어서 수소가 포함된 반응성 가스를 사용할 경우 제작된 탄소막 내부에는 수소가 포함되게 되며, 이러한 수소원자들은 막의 특성에 중요한 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 비정질 탄소막(a-C:H) 내부에 존재하는 수소가 탄소막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 막 내부에 포함된 수소의 함량과 공정조건 사이의 함수계를 조사함으로써 수소의 함량을 인위적으로 통제할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 수소가 포함된 비정질 탄소막은 2.45 GHz의 전자기파를 사용하는 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PECVD) 방법과 DC magnetron sputtering 법을 사용하여 제작하였다. 기판으로는 Si(001) wafer를 사용하였으며, 아세톤과 에탄올을 사용하여 표면의 유기성분을 제거하고, 진공챔버속에서 Ar 플라즈마를 발생시켜 sputter etching 방법으로 표면을 세척하였다. ECR-PECVD 방법에서는 반응가스로 메탄(CH4)과 수소(H2)의 혼합가스를 사용하였으며, 혼합가스의 비는 5~50% 범위내에서 변화를 주었다. 수소가스의 유량은 100SCCM으로 고정하였으며, 마이크로웨이브의 power는 360~900W였고, 기판에 가해준 negative DC bias 전압은 0~-500V이었다. DC magnetron sputtering 방법에서는 반응가스로 아세틸린(C2H2) 가스를 사용하였으며, 플라즈마 발생을 용이하게 하기 위해서 Ar 가스와 혼합하여 사용하였다. Ar 가스의 유량은 10SCCM으로 고정하였으며, 아세틸렌 가스의 유량은 5~20SCCM 범위내에서 주입하였다. 이때, 기판에 가해준 negative DC bias 전압은 0~-100V이었다. 제작된 탄소막의 수소 함량을 조사하기 위하여 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) 분광법과 Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (EFDA) 법을 사용하였으며, 증착율은 SEM 단면촬영과 a-step을 이용하여 측정하였고, 막의 경도는 Micro-Hardness Testing 법을 사용하여 측정하였다.

In this study, the electrochemical performance of a 5-layer fuel cell stack using silica composite membranes as polymer electrolyte membranes was evaluated. It was observed that the flow rate of the fuel gases plays a crucial role in stack performance, particularly being mainly dependent on the flow rate of hydrogen. Increasing the flow rate of oxygen resulted in negligible changes in performance, whereas an increase in the flow rate of hydrogen demonstrated performance improvements. However, this led to an imbalance in the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen flow rates, causing significant degradation in stack performance and durability. A decline in stack performance was also observed over time due to the degradation of stack components. This phenomenon was consistently observed in individual unit cells. Based on these findings, it was emphasized that, in addition to optimizing the performance of each component during stack operation, it is important to optimize design and operating conditions for uniform flow rate control. Lastly, the developed silica composite membrane was assessed to have sufficient performance for application in actual fuel cell systems, exhibiting a performance of over 25 W based on maximum power.

This paper considers the influence of suction-line heat exchangers on the efficiency of a refrigeration cycle using hydrocarbon refrigerants such as R290, R600a and R1270. These suction-line heat exchangers can, in some cases, yield improved system performance while in other cases they degrade system performance. A steady state mathematical model is used to analyze the performance characteristics of refrigeration cycle with suction-line heat exchanger. The influence of operating conditions, such as the mass flowrate of hydrocarbon refrigerants, inner diameter tube and length of suction-line heat exchanger, to the performance of the cycle is also analyzed in the paper. Results showed that the mass flowrate of hydrocarbon refrigerants, inner diameter tube and length of suction-line heat exchanger, and effectiveness have an effect on the cooling capacity, compressor work and RCI(Relative Capacity Index) of this system. With a thorough grasp of these effect, it is necessary to design the compression refrigeration cycle of hydrocarbon refrigerants using suction-line heat exchanger.

In commercial transactions of energy sources using hydrogen charging stations, high-accuracy flow meters are needed to prevent accidents such as overcharging due to inaccurate measurements and to ensure transparency in hydrogen commercial transactions through accurate measurements. This research developed a Corioli-type flowmeter prototype and conducted a risk assessment to prevent accidents during a process change comparison experiment for existing charging stations to verify the measurement performance. A process change section was defined for the installation of measurement facilities for empirical experiments and HAZOP was conducted. In addition, JSA was also conducted to secure the safety of experimenters, such as preventing valve mis-opening during empirical experiments. Measures were established to improve the risk factors derived through HAZOP, and work procedures were established to minimize human errors and ensure the safety of workers through JSA. The design change and system manufacturing for the installation of the metering system were completed by reflecting the risk assessment results, and safety could be confirmed through the performance comparison test of the developed meter prototype. The developed prototype flow meter showed a total of 30 flow measurements under the operating conditions of 70 MPa, and the average error was -1.58% to 3.96%. Such a metering error was analyzed to have the same performance as a flow meter installed and operated for commercial use.

An experimental study was performed for the combustion-field visualization of the burner which burns the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configurations of the flame and temperature gradient were caught by both high-speed camera and thermo-graphic camera, and those images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. In addition, the fuel consumption was measured using the balance during the combustion reaction. As a result, the consumption of atomized fuel increased with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas, but any correlation between the air/fuel ratio and carrier-gas flow-rate was not found at the low flow-rate condition. Also, the combustion-field grew and reaction-temperature rose due to the strengthening of combustion reaction with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas and power consumption of ultrasonic oscillator.

The fuel cell in fuel cell electric vehicle utilizes oxygen in the atmosphere, which requires the use of an air cleaner system to minimize the intake of harmful pollutants. To estimate the performance of the air cleaner system, the pressure drop between the filter inlet and outlet is used under the rated air flow condition. In this study, the effect of sensor error in this air cleaner testing is experimentally carried out. It is found that the errors of the temperature sensor does not significantly affect the estimation of pressure drop. However, in the case of the pressure sensor, 5% sensor error results in the error of pressure drop estimation by 3%. Therefore, it is recommended that the measurement accuracy of the pressure sensor mounted in test system should be maintained at less than 5%.
